Tam tam,
In addition to J.Jill's questions, which I certainly echo, how is it that another scientist speaks of being awed (in a horrified way) when seeing the new black fiber growing down the hair follicle alongside the proper occupant (the hair) which it soon ousts.
What is the point of all this? Why does this infection have a propensity for the hair follicles at the back of the neck? Where exactly might the fibers and worms go that lie beneath? If there are nematodes or helminths throughout the body, are they connected to each other in some way?
Are they dependent, sometimes, on the ones that may form on, or in the subcutaneous tissue of the scalp?

The Recombinant DNA !!!!! Protein kinases represent some of the most important drug targets in medicine today since aberrant kinase activity underpins many disease states. Ligand binds to the extracellular domain of these receptors

Mycobacterial infections often manifest as diseases such as tuberculosis.treating infectious diseases. In particular, the invention relates to the manipulation of antigen production by infectious organisms. the present invention comprises manipulation of mycobacterial genes resulting in the modification of heat shock protein production.

TamTam, also....gating here in Dallas-
a protein, called MscL, found in the membrane of the single-cell bacterium Escherichia coli. The protein is essentially an emergency-response valve that changes shape to let salts and other solutes in and out of the cell through a process called "gating" in order to keep tension on the membrane steady. This gating process allows some of the cell's innards to spill out or liquid from the surrounding environment to rush in.

and last but not least( before deductions) is:
SIALYLTRANSFERASE 3C.
